this is not the obama administration, bush administration, clinton administration. this is accused of many people in the region about america and i think it's unfortunate because clearly what the united states stands for is in line with what the arab revolution has been publicly espousing. secondly, i think we have done, and i take responsibility along with our entire government and congress and perhaps our dear. we've not done a very good job in recent years, reaching out in a public media way or in a culturally affect his way to explain ourselves. and now, i'm always encountering so many conspiracy theories totally off base, wild, made up stats with the media and region permits about the name date is century. no one will believe it or we can't possibly contested. i think we have to be in there every single day. i made a point of reaching out to al jazeera when i became secretary of state he says he was on relentlessly negative about us. has said that is not only inaccurate, but deeply unfair. the response to me was your government never put anybody on al jazeera.
